496 scientists: A climate scientist enemies list?

Nice to see that almost 500 scientists are being tracked as enemies of climate research. Freeman Dyson is a great scientist and has many thoughts on climate and how to approach the problem as a scientist.

I would argue that this list is another example of how little science there is in the current climate belief system. Lot's of fear and intimidation being used when open data sets and cooperation is really how science works. Publish the prediction models and let others openly review your methods. That is how science is done.
Making lists and keeping peoples papers from being published and hiding data and threatening to destroy emails rather then met Freedom of Information requests are not scientific or signs that there is a valid theory here.

This does not help those that claim the science is settled or is being done properly.

The National Academy of Sciences, in its official journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has just published a list of scientists whom it claims should not be believed on the subject of global warming.

Notice that I am not saying that there has been no warming, just that the available raw data that I’ve personally been able to check do not show it. Until all the raw temperature data are placed online, so the data can be checked by anybody, a rational person has to suspend belief in global warming, to say nothing of AGW.
